Luck and ucr

An unfettered Irishmsn out in Lead
vile, who can neither read nor write. is
worth to-day at least $4,000, 900. Four
years ago he hadn't penny, except what
he earned from day to day as 9 miner.
His name Ia John l.. Morrissey. He Is q
young man. not ever 80 or 80. The Grown
Point niue, like Tom Bowen's Golconds,
was just about paying expenses. Her
owners offered to sell her for $4,000.
Morrisey went to Chicago aud interested
Diamond Joe Reynolds in the matter.
Reynolds knew that Morrisey was an au-
thority on mining, oven II he couldD't
write his name. He finally purchased the
Grown Point, agreeing TO give Morrissey Q
half.interest after the original sum was re-
paid. Within thirty days they struck q
vein Of high.class ore that has yielded
them q monthly income Of $1S. 900 apiece
ever since. There is said to be 5000, 900
worth Of ore in sight. Morrissey cannot
even tell the time OF day. 1t 10 a stock
joke among the boys II you ask Morrissey
what O'Clock it is. for him to pull from his
fob q $500 watch and, with q condescend-
ing air, tell you to ''luk for yerself and

To that end there will hereafter be four
steps to be assembled and descended. in
stead Of three. and the lower one will be
so near the ground that even ladies in
tight "pull backs" will be able to reach 1t

ger coaches IN the Y. & 7. express were
comfortably filled daily with passengers
travelling to and fro between the Com.
stock and California. The freight traffic
also increased in q corresponding ratio.
Since the market has declined to its pres

dwindled down TO what they were previous
TO the boom.
Many residents OF the Comstock who
shipped their wives aud children to the
Golden State, expecting to join them In a
